U.S. House Republicans plan a vote next week on a measure to cut spending, cap expenditures and condition a $2.4 trillion increase in the debt ceiling on passage of a constitutional amendment to balance the budget. While the plan may win acceptance by the Republican-led House, it can’t pass the Democratic-controlled Senate, according to

I’ve discussed multiculturalism and its kernel assumptions at length on this site (you can find my arguments in the archives), having time and again made the case that, once the intellectual precepts for the multicultural project are adopted, rationalized, and institutionalized, the social, cultural, and legal trajectory is set on course for legalized Balkanization, cultural and social relativism as a function of law, and a strain on the very idea
